Frequently Asked Questions

Is the square 40 cm Vela stool suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the matte version is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. The lacquered version is intended exclusively for indoor use.

Which color can be illuminated?
Only in the color ice, and only in the matte version. The body is translucent in this version – illumination is not possible with any other color or in the lacquered version.

What does the lighting provide?
Both versions use RGB LEDs (3 shades of white + 9 colors) and a rechargeable battery – completely wireless. The LED technology is protected to IP65 and is therefore approved for wet areas, designed for ambient temperatures up to 40°C. The battery-powered version without Wi-Fi includes a wireless remote control (RF433, 10–15 m range). CE, RoHS, and UL certified.

How long does the battery last?
The Li-ion battery (12 V) lasts 6 to 8 hours depending on the model. Charging takes around 5 hours, and the battery is designed for approximately 500 charge cycles; the charger is included. The battery-powered version is also protected to IP65.

What do I need for Wi-Fi control?
The Wi-Fi versions operate with a DMX-1024 decoder via a 2.4 GHz wireless signal. This allows multiple lights to be controlled simultaneously. Important: The controller itself is not included – available as a home Wi-Fi controller (compatible with iOS and Android) or as a professional DMX controller with an XLR connection.

Which cushions are available?
Three fabric categories are available: 1A and 1B, 1C, and 2 – they differ in material and price. Depending on the fabric category, clean the covers and store them as dry and protected as possible if the furniture is left outside for extended periods; the body itself can simply be wiped down with water and mild detergent.

Who designed it?
Designed by Ramón Esteve, architect and creative director of Vondom. Vela is a modular system of prismatic volumes – Esteve imprints every design with his sense of harmony, tranquility, and essence.
